Top Kaohsiung Hotel Reviews

Grand Hi Lai Hotel

Grand Hi Lai Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They let us finish the check in process before the room was ready. Then they brought our luggage to the room. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The view was also great. The location was very convenient to the light rail station and development stores. The only thing is that the lobby has very limited seats for guests to sit and relax."
